Because I need you


Delirious, destructive, full of holes

Implemented by dark points of those too short in

Love.

I found myself cursing God and all creation.

A dark person who feared no scorn of talk of

Lovers.

I feared only falling in love again.

Feeling the vulnerability of insurmountable

Love.

I found you amongst the darkest of times

and desired not to love you but

I

Did. I flounder over you like a moronic fish

spewing lines like those of Orlando. I

Need

Not recite them because for in my heart

I hold them. for you I roll myself into a sheet of paper for

You

God! how my heart flutters at your presence

And I beweep your dismissal

More

Than you will understand.

Love isn't about obtaining what your opponent has, its more

Than

That. It's about pouring yourself into another person

To fill in their voids

You

Open your detestable heart in order

for them to purge it, letting in new light. The

Need

No! the desire to listen, and drink up all they have to say

And when their words enrage your heart, remember who cleansed it! For

Me

I desire nothing more than the enjoyment of your company,

to take you to dance after dance, to match you drink for drink

Kiss

You at the end of the night, to want

You as much as you want me. To see you smile and your

Heart

Soar with ecstasy. To give more than you can give me,

Hold the same dreams, plan on how we want to live, and be buried together.

Love

Until my heart shatters at the thought of you leaving.

Because in the end, I need you to

Live
